Virtual Worlds Forum Europe - 10 Days to go!
Virtual Worlds Forum Europe - with ten days to go I just thought I'd give you an update of where we are with the event, expo and party nights...
So what've we got?
Well, hundreds of people signed up to the best virtual worlds show in London, 100+ speakers, great keynotes from EA, Jagex (who you hardly ever see speak), lots of cool sponsors and exhibitors. And great networking.
We like to party, and we know our delegates do, so you get a four day pass to the Hospital Club, the private members club for the creative industries, PLUS opening night party hosted by our friends at SXSW (you have to register quick to get on the guest list for that) and closing night party hosted by Sony Playstation. It's a party week.
And all delegates get three great benefits when they sign up - apart from the Hospital Club pass you get a 3 month subscription to FT.com, plus a complimentary copy of a in-depth Gartner Research report.
We've quite some press list, so you'll get to read all about it, but if you're into the business aspects of virtual worlds and online games, we're the place to be. Today we're very excited to launch our 9 page programme - you can download the PDF here. You know that we take content seriously, and having spoken to hundreds of participants, we hope we've developed a four-track programme that reflects the current interests of the virtual worlds and online games community, as well as the requirements of brands and enterprises.
With nearly 100 speakers, a great demo and keynote theatre, and more announcements still to come, it's looking good. You've probably emailed or talked to most of us, but in case you want to know more about our specialist team, check out the newly updated team page.

2008 Wrapup
However, after a change of venue, we pulled off a day of ad hoc networking at Virtual Worlds Unplugged, our unconference held at The Hospital private members club. Great business was done there, and during the SXSW party. We thank the whole virtual worlds community for your support.

You did a truly fabulous job pulling the Forum together. It had the right programmatic mix and a great physical environment. And your staff is wonderful; helpful, attentive, proactive. The whole event was just what the industry needed...not another cookie-cutter conference/convention.
